I know theres a few classes of Asian Aros starting from Green, RTG, Super Red, Chili Red, and X-back... but most of these Aros looks very similar when they are frys. Especially Green, RTG, Super and Chili reds. Can someone (who knows what they are talking about) explain to me how to tell the difference between them when they are frys. I've seen some high quality Green frys that looks like a very low quality Chili Red and some high quality RTG that looks like low quality Super Reds. If anyone have pics when they are frys please post them here so I can have a better understanding of them.
 
How to tell the between different
Class of Asian Aro when young are
1) Green - all 3 tail fin are black or bark green

2) RTG - Botton Fin is Red, Top Fin is Dark Brown/Green or Black, Tail Fin are 1/3 (Top part) Dark Brown/Green or Black and 2/3 (Bottom part) is Red, gold colour will only reach to 4th scale level for classic or 5th level to 5th 1/2 level for a High Back RTG.

3) Grade 1 Red - Super, Chilli, Blood...... are names given by farms which are refering to the same Grade 1 Red, All fin are red, Red or Dark Red Lips, Facial with orange or red on the crack lines(For Aro that is 7" and Above)

4) Grade 1 1/2, 2 - Most older people will call it Yellow Tail, When young all fin are red same like Grade 1 but once grow bigger the red will turn to Yellow and body and Cheek will not have any red colour.

5) X-Back - Same as RTG expect that you may find higher shine on the scale and sometimes can see the crossing of the shine for high grade type, or Gloden head
